TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, the entry rules for Thailand are the same whether you arrive in Phuket or Bangkok. Both locations have established the Test and Go program, which includes testing upon arrival at the airport and waiting for results at your chosen hotel. Many hotels in Phuket offer similar testing services to those available in Bangkok, ensuring a consistent experience for travelers.

Phuket is as robust as Bangkok for the test and go program. Plenty of hotels and the test and go system is well established there. Testing is done at the airport then you go to your hotel to await the results before being released.
